Kill Shakespeare (2014)

About this game

Kill Shakespeare: The Board Game is based on the Kill Shakespeare comic book series from co-writers Anthony Del Col and Conor McCreery and artist Andy Belanger. Designed to be a "semi-cooperative"-style board game, players unite to battle against evil forces controlled by the game itself, while still jockeying to come out as the individual leader on the scoreboard.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 3.6/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
